Conservatives Accuse New Docuseries About 'Queer' Animals Of Pushing 'Satanic Gay Agenda'

The upcoming Peacock docuseries 'Queer Planet,' which highlights sexuality and gender in the animal kingdom, has conservatives losing their minds.

Conservatives are having another meltdown over LGBTQ+ individuals and the basic facts of science, except this time it's not queer people they're furious about, but queer animals.

Yes, the people who would have you believe they're saving the world from the incalculable evil of liberalism would also have you believe that gay animals—the very gay animals that have existed for as long as the Earth has—are a threat.


Peacock has had the audacity to explore sexuality in the animal kingdom in a documentary called Queer Planet, and right-wingers are acting like it's the end of the world.

Queer Planet arrives just in time for Pride Month, and explores things like gay penguins, bisexual lions and clownfish who change their sex as they see fit.

As Peacock said of the show:

"This documentary looks at extraordinary creatures, witnesses amazing behaviors, and introduces the scientists who are questioning the traditional concept of what’s natural when it comes to sex and gender."

Despite the documentary focusing on scientific facts, the usual far-right suspects have been crowing about it being "Satanic" and "sick," and holding the documentary up as the latest evidence that LGBTQ+ and liberals are "coming for your kids," in the words of one YouTube commenter.

And then there's geniuses like bankrupt far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who tweeted that "'Queer Planet' equals a dead planet," because apparently merely acknowledging the existence of gay animals now means every animal on Earth will never again reproduce.

Naturally, those who aren't slavering morons found the conservative Queer Planet uproar ridiculous and even hilarious.






Queer Planet premieres June 6.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
